Cyber Monday 2018 has started. Amazon’s best deals are live and so is a more mixedWalmart sale. Throw in confirmed Cyber Monday sales from Apple, from Best Buy, from Kohl’s and from Target and you an almost impossible number of deals to track. Almost. My guide shows you the star buys, solid deals and warns you about the high profile deals you should treat with caution. Here’s my breakdown of the Cyber Monday 2018 winners and losers...

If a product you want is in this section then this is the best price for it on Cyber Monday. In short: this is the offer you should buy. Deals are grouped by store and are/will go live at each product link. Note: some of
Walmart’s best sales do not go live until 12:01 am EST.

Target - Extra 15 Percent off top gift and thousands of items at Target.com - See Deal Now - One of the year’s top Cyber Monday deals. Exclusions apply, however.

Cyber Monday TV tip: always check the specific TV model when retailers release their deals, particularly Amazon which often hides this information until the last minute. Even the best manufacturers have weak models in their line-up, so do your research before pulling the trigger.

Target's Cyber Monday 2018 sales may be the best of any store this year

Solid Deals

Because this is a Best Of roundup the products which make it into the Solid Deals category still represent a high-quality discount which you should strongly consider. As above, all deals are/will go live at each product link:

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are famous for their big sales, but they are equally famous for dodgy deals, misleading savings and firesales on bad products you should avoid. So unless you have a very good reason to want one of the products listed below or there’s a stock shortage at your preferred store, you should stay away from them.

Amazon - Polaroid 43-Inch 4K Smart TV for $129.99 - See Deal Page - No model number announced. Polaroid is sometimes a spotty brand these days, so check the model number when it appears.

Best Buy - Sony PlayStation 4 1TB Console for $299.99 - See Deal Now - completely worthless deal that does not even include a game. Many stores offered the PS4 Spider-Man bundle for $199.99 on Black Friday (Walmart and Amazon) and could potentially bring the deal back for Cyber Monday. GameStop is also offering free $50 gift cards with select PS4 bundles (Buy Better Deal). Walmart is also offering the PlayStation 4 with a copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 and an extra DualShock 4 for $199 (save $99.87) - (Buy Better Deal)

Target - Xbox One S 1TB Battlefield V Deluxe Edition Bundle for $299.99 - See Deal Now - This is listed at $299.99, but it can be found on Target’s website for $229.99. For a better deal, go to GameStop for $50 off already on sale select Xbox One bundles (Buy Better Deal)

Best Buy has the top Galaxy smartphone sales (dedicated store guide) alongside Samsung, Stock of Amazon’s own brand devices never sells out and prices are great (dedicated store guide), but watch for last minute ‘Lightning Deals’. Meanwhile, the biggest Cyber Monday letdown is Costco (this is why).
